The manual says that you can't use tire chains with a 2003 Outback because there isn't enough clearance in the wheel wells. Has anybody tried using cable chains or the new diamond patter chains, which fit around the tires better?

I haven't tried chains, but i know that Scoobies are notorious for collecting ice/snow chunks in the wheel wells, which can be combatted with silicone.

When I got my 2003 OBW, I called Subaru about this. They referred me to the Security Chain Co. of Oregon. They had a chain (Shur Grip SZ 339) that is supposed to work. I have had them on the car, and they fit, but have never had to drive with them, so I don't know if they really work.
